Star Trek$TREK officially turned 60 this year. Six decades is an impressive milestone by any standard, even for a franchise that's no stranger to landmark accomplishments. In a nice bit of symmetry, "Balance of Terror," an episode widely regarded as one of The Original Series ' finest hours (no runtime pun intended), celebrates its own diamond anniversary next month. Written by Paul Schneider and directed by Vincent McEveety, Season 1, Episode 14 introduces the Romulans — who'd go on to become prominent and compelling adversaries — through a tense cat-and-mouse hunt between Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) and an unnamed Romulan commander ( Mark Lenard, also known for playing Sarek in Star Trek$TREK: The Next Generation ).
